Job Description

Schneider Electric has an opportunity for an Accounting Transformation Manager in Franklin, TN.

Remote Flexibility: Yes, 2 days work from home allowed

Team: Finance - North America Hub

Make a Bigger Impact. Own More Than the Close.

At Schneider Electric, finance isn’t a back-office function. It’s a business enabler.

We’re looking for a sharp, driven Accounting Transformation Manager who thrives at the intersection of accounting rigor, process transformation, and digital finance. If you're ready to stretch beyond month-end and become a key player in shaping how finance supports a rapidly scaling $40B+ global energy leader, read on.

What You’ll Own

This isn’t a traditional reporting manager role. It’s a high-impact position at the heart of Schneider’s U.S. finance transformation - combining strong accounting control with digital-first process design.

Your scope includes:

● Own U.S. statutory and group reporting integrity, ensuring IFRS/GAAP compliance across entities and systems (Oracle, SAP)

● Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close cycles; drive accuracy, audit-readiness, and process consistency

● Act as Accounting Process Transformation Lead: design, simplify, and digitize key workflows (e.g. reconciliations, intercompany, JE governance)

● Drive core finance and accounting KPIs

● Drive alignment between Oracle ERP and group consolidation tools (HFM/Hyperion)

● Serve as key accounting SME on the ERP migration from SAP to Oracle – map legacy processes, own GL logic, and steer reporting integrity

● Collaborate with redesign of transactional workstreams (e.g. Fixed Assets, Cash, AP/AR)

● Oversee U.S. government reporting requirements and SOX control design

● Mentor and grow a high-performing team (2-4+ direct reports); shape succession pipeline and performance culture

Tools & Platforms You’ll Work With

● Oracle ERP + SAP ECC/S4

● Hyperion HFM (Consolidation)

● Tableau, Power BI, Alteryx, Excel (Advanced)

● Google Workspace, Smartsheet, SharePoint

Why This Role Matters

Schneider’s North America region is scaling fast - and finance must scale with it. This role ensures the accuracy and adaptability of financial reporting across $10B+ U.S. operations, while leading efforts to modernize accounting processes and controls in line with the company’s ERP transformation.

We know skills and competencies show up in many different ways and can be based on your life experience. If you do not necessarily meet all the requirements that are listed, we still encourage you to apply for the position.

What You Bring

Minimum Qualifications:

● CPA required; Master’s in Accounting/Finance preferred

● 8+ years of experience, including time in a Big 4 or global controllership setting

● Strong command of IFRS, GAAP, and consolidation logic

● Managerial experience: performance coaching, delegation, and team planning

Preferred:

● ERP transition and multi-ERP environment experience

● Comfort leading cross-functional projects with finance systems, IT, and offshore teams

● Proven transformation exposure: automating processes, standardizing and optimizing JE postings, etc.
